| 01. Introduction |
[]=========================================================================[]
Jak and Daxter did not gain much publicity, but it still fared well against
overhyped monsters, such as Metal Gear Solid 2. Its release coincided with
several other sure-fire hits, which overshadowed this title. However, the
explosive gameplay, the whimsical characters, the luscious graphics, Daxter's
caustic comments and churlish behavior, and the caricatured fantasy we once
thought only Shigeru Miyamoto's games could offer have supplied enough
ammunition for this newbie title to compete against the likes of, say, Grand
Theft Auto III. And boy, it left its competition battered by its unrelenting
desire to be a great game that people have played.
This marks my third FAQ for this absolutely fantastic game. This just shows
how much I like it. Besides, there are some people who are still playing or
have begun to play this game, which means that they might need help on some
non-walkthrough parts of the game. Hence the reason for the lack of a full
walkthrough. As I said in one of my other FAQs for this game, Jak and Daxter
is not, in any way, difficult. However, people still raise rather interesting
questions about the game that I think should be dealt with. That's where this
FAQ comes in. I have compiled all the questions and general information that
the average Joe Schmoe will need clarification on. With these, I hope to iron
out any problems you may have.
Though this FAQ alone will not be able to guide you directly through Jak and
Daxter, it has the necessary tools to get you off on the right foot and let
you feel comfortable. If you need help on other things, like finding a Scout
Fly or getting a Power Cell, I'm there. Check out my other two FAQs for this
game entitled: Hard-to-Get Power Cells FAQ and Scout Fly Locations Guide,
both of which can be found on the illustrious GameFAQs. As always, if none of
my FAQs are helpful (which is quite impossible because I'm puurrfect!), there
are other excellent full walkthroughs for the game. Onward!

guides.
[]=========================================================================[]
| 02. Jak's Moves |
[]=========================================================================[]
Every adventurous youth has a set of moves to pull out in the face of danger.
Jak is no exception. His arsenal of acrobatic and deadly martial arts will be
more than enough to get you through this colorful adventure. Daxter? Oh, he
just clings on to Jak's neck for dear life. I don't know. Maybe his
undulating tail does some extra damage sometimes. Note that these aren't the
official names. Yeah, yeah. Laugh all you want at these names, but when you
have had a taste of them, you won't be laughing anymore, punk.
SPIN ATTACK: Circle
The Spin Attack is probably the single most useful attack in the entire game.
This easily eliminates any foes that get in your way (with the exception of a
few). Pressing the Circle button makes Jak do a 360-degree attack with his
leg outstretched. This attack is the "base" attack for two of its variations.
TWIRLING BALLERINA: Cross + Circle
So I'm not creative with naming moves. It's not my fault Naughty Dog left us
with nameless moves. The way Jak moves exemplifies the movement of a
ballerina without all the grace. Jak will jump into the air and do a spin
attack in mid-air, allowing him to stay aloft for a little while longer than
usual. This move can help Jak cross wide gaps.
SUPER TWIRLING BALLERINA: Cross + Cross + Circle
Same as Twirling Ballerina, except even better. You will be much higher in
the air.
SUPER PUNCH: Square
Jak's signature tackle move. It's one of his primary attacks, and it packs a
mean wallop! Jak will glide toward the enemy and be ready to meet its face
with his fists! It's generally used to crush wooden crates and destroy your
opposition.
NOSE-DIVE ATTACK: Cross + Square
This move allows Jak to leap into the air, curl up into a ball and thunder
back to the ground, head first, completely wiping out the enemy under him.
Not only is it useful for subduing hard-plated Lurkers (such as the
crustacean in Sentinel Beach), it can also be used to break open tough metal
crates.
DOUBLE JUMP: Cross + Cross
The Double Jump lets Jak jump and somehow gain the ability to jump again in
mid-air. Weird. Then again, Jak's pointed, elf-like ears are even weirder.
SPLIT JUMP: L1 or R1 + Cross
Jak's initial position will be a crouched position. This will help build up
the impetus to give him extra spring, thus allowing him to leap higher than
normal. The reason I called it the "Split Jump" instead of a simple High
Jump is that Jak spreads his legs as if he were doing the splits, so I
thought it would be more clever to name it Split Jump. ^_^ Yeah, well I don't
see you doing any better!
CRAWL: L1 or R1 + analog stick movement
With this move, Jak will get on his hands and knees and crawl, making room
for stealth. If you wanna ninja by a bad Lurker with some hardcore tactical
espionage action, this is the thing to use!
TUMBLE: While running, press L1 or R1
Jak will roll forward with this move. What more is there to say? I've never
found a need to use this, but I can't say for sure it'll be the same for you.
POWER POUNCE: While running, press L1 or R1 + Cross
This is a very nifty move that will let Jak travel faster and leap over wide
gaps. As Jak is running, he will suddenly spring forward and cover a great
distance in the process.
UPPER CUT: L1 or R1 + Square
The Upper Cut allows you to hammer pillars into the ceiling and eliminate
flying foes. Jak will begin at a crouched position and spring upward with a
powerful uppercut, delivering pain to anything he comes in contact with.
OMEGA COMBO: Lots of buttons
Thanks to Omnigamer2189 for submitting this: I just wanted you to know, that
if you do the Super Punch, followed by rapidly tapping X, you can follow up
the punch with an Uppercut, leaving you protected during the time you recover
from the punch. Follow this up with square for an added dive attack. Smash O
afterwards for a spin attack. I call this completely invincible combo, Omega
Combo. It has killed anything I have come across, excluding the battering ram
drivers in the Snowy Mountain and the piggy-back Lurkers in the Lost
Precursor City. Also, if you ever find yourself in the position where there
are Lurkers above you, or just plain swarming you, hold R1, hit X, and tap O
like crazy. I call it, the Screw Attack. Very useful.

| 04. Boss Guide |
[]=========================================================================[]
There are only three bosses, and none of them are too tough for an adventurer
like you to handle...with my help, of course.
-------------------------------
D A R K E C O P L A N T
It has two attacks up its sleeve. It will attempt to make you its afternoon
snack, but if you stand in the back, you should be safe from its snapping
jaws. Look at the size of those things! Some odd-looking, retarded green
crawling things that produce spikes will pop out of its stomach and approach
you. Avoid this Lurker at all costs while its spikes are out and attack only
when they have receded. As soon as the baby Lurker bites the dust, the Dark
Eco plant will go into some kinda "hibernation" and sprout leaves for you to
climb on. Whack its head with a spin kick to wake it up. The process will now
recycle except the Lurkers will be deployed in increasing numbers. You must
kill all the baby Lurkers to force the Dark Eco plant into a state of hiatus.
Whack its head three times to put it to eternal sleep. When it withers and
falls flat (literally) on the ground, jump on its head to free some orbs.
-------------------------------
K L A W W
Yeah, this guy is not as self-imposing as he seems. To begin the fight, hop
down to one of the hardened lava layers. At this point, Klaww will begin to
rev up his boulder-shooting weapon thing and hurl boulders at you. Dodge them
by leaping from platform to platform until he stops. A Blue Eco cluster will
appear on the last platform you touched before he stopped his assault.
Touching the Blue Eco cluster will cause pieces of lost Precursor artifacts
to be merged together, forming a bridge. Traverse the bridge while avoiding
Klaww's rolling boulders to the end, where you'll find some Yellow Eco
waiting.
Charge Jak up with some Yellow Eco power and start blasting Klaww silly until
he drops the boulder on his head. He will sink into the lava and let the
boulder roll toward you and break the bridge. You should be heading back to
the three platforms now. Once you're back on the platforms, Klaww will arise,
and the process will repeat. Now his boulders will come at a faster pace, and
part of the bridge will be destroyed, leaving holes and such. Klaww needs
three bonks on the head to take a lava nap.
-------------------------------
P R E C U R S O R R O B O T
Your battle ground will be atop a silo containing a vast reserve of the toxic
Dark Eco. Gol and Maia are in control of the Precursor Robot. At the start of
the fight, they use their powerful beam to pry open the top of the silo.
Accompanying you on the roof are a few Yellow and Green Eco clusters and a
Blue Eco vent. Let's begin by collecting the Yellow Eco clusters. Now Jak is
rippling with Yellow Eco. Aim at the robot's right eye--the one that's
discharging the beam cannon--and rapidly send fireballs from Jak's palms to
destroy it.
Once you have managed to cease its attempts to crack open the floor, it will
unleash a bomb onto the roof, powerful enough to instantly kill you. For
emergencies such as these, the Blue Eco vent serves you well. Quickly run
through the vent, dash to the launch pad, and cast yourself into the air just
before the bomb hits the roof. The bomb will create a huge explosion and
force open the floor. By the time you return to the ground, there will be a
gap in the floor. Gol and Maia are now one step closer to unleashing eternal
turmoil onto the world.
At this point, the Dark Eco will spit out some repulsive Lurker beings. You
must deal with these guys by powering yourself up with Yellow Eco and
relentlessly injecting them with it. The robot prepares another cataclysmic
bomb just as you eliminate the last Lurker. Before it releases it, you will
have to run through the Blue Eco again and launch yourself into the air. When
you return yet again to the ground, the gap will have widened more than the
last time. You *can* fall into it and be swallowed up by the Dark Eco, so be
careful.
Seeing that the Lurker's attempt to subdue you failed, the Precursor Robot
switches gears. It will now release a myriad of ball clusters on the roof,
which will explode and create rings that dilate outward. If you touch these,
you will be greatly injured! You must jump over them. There should be brief
pauses between each "ring", so take those opportunities to switch from the
defensive to the offensive and attack the robot. Remember to always shoot in
third-person perspective. Afterward, you will have to once again avoid its
uber-destructive bomb.
The Dark Eco nearly dominates the floor now. You could basically use only the
outer ring to move freely around. Gol and Maia will now shoot super-charged
fireballs aimed straight at you. You must time it and quickly dodge it at the
right time. As soon as one whizzes right past you, let the robot have a taste
of its own medicine. Once it takes enough damage, a cut-scene will ensue.
With the four sages' powers combined, they form the Light Eco. Nice, catchy
name. Picking up the newly formed Eco will bring an end to the battle, thus
ending the game. Alright!

| 05. Mini-Games |
[]=========================================================================[]
In the world of Jak and Daxter, danger is aplenty, and there isn't anything
for our heroes to do that's fun besides vanquishing Lurker scum and saving
the world. Occasionally, you will encounter special mini-games that will ask
Jak to run errands for people, or help incompetent fools who can't do the
job themselves. Though these tasks seem like a pain to do, I can assure you
that they will make you giggle like a silly anime girl. After all, you have
to take the fun things in life and enjoy them. Not saying that the adventure
itself isn't fun enough...
-CATCH 200 POUNDS OF FISH-
Where: Forbidden Jungle How: Talk to the fisherman
Prize: Power Cell
Description: Catch 200 lbs of fish using only a net.
The idea is to catch a total of 200 pounds of fish using only a net. Don't
worry, though. The laws of physics don't apply here, so one little net will
get the job done. In the stream at which you fish teems with yellow and green
fish. The yellow ones are worth 5 lbs, while the green ones are worth 1 lb.
These fish are not the only ones that swim around these parts. A venomous eel
has also established this stream as its home. If you catch one--just one--it
will contaminate your entire catch, and you will have to start over. The
catch is that if you let a cumulative total of 20 lbs of fish escape your
net, you will also have to start over. It's not as hard as it sounds. Jak can
whisk a 100 lbs net around as if it were a feather, so he could nab dozens of
fish in time to achieve the quota.
-BEAT RECORD TIME ON THE GORGE-
Where: Precursor Basin How: Speak to gambler; go to starting point
Prize: Power Cell
Description: Race through the obstacle course and reach the finish line in
under 45 seconds.
This mini-game is based entirely on your reflexes and little bit of luck. You
see, throughout the course will be these pillars that will shoot out from the
walls and later retract. If you run into any of them, you will lose valuable
time. And remember to steer clear of that glitch at all costs! What glitch am
I talking about? Read the FAQ section for details.
-PROTECT FARTHY'S SNACKS-
Where: Boggy Swamp How: Talk to the foul-smelling lard.
Prize: Power Cell
Description: Fend off all the scuttling Lurker bugs and prevent them from
devouring Farthy's snacks.
Who can resist helping out a hillbilly in need of a bath living with his one
and only pet? What? He's lost it? Oh, no! Farthy has run away! Good for him,
but his owner is awfully upset about it. Farthy's owner had put out some of
Farthy's favorite snacks to guide him back home, but it seems that those
pesky swamp Lurkers keep lapping them up. Without the snacks, Farthy won't be
able to find his way home! And so his inept owner seeks your expertise in
removing these stupid Lurkers. How?? How else! By zapping them with Yellow
Eco, codename: Black Flag. Anyway, all you have to do is shoot wildly at the
oncoming invaders before any of them come in contact with Farthy's snacks
laid out along the swamp. You don't have to worry about running low on Yellow
Eco, as your supply will be refilled infinitely. Have fun!
Well, I know there are more mini-games, but these are the ones that stuck out
like a sore thumb. If you feel there are more mini-games that should be
added, contact me and we can talk things out.

| 06. Frequently Asked Questions |
[]=========================================================================[]
Q. What is this game about?
Q. Should I get this game?
Q. How long is the game?
Q. How do I save?
Q. Are there any benefits for collecting all the Precursor Orbs?
Q. Why can't I use the Zoomer on levels like the Fire Canyon?
Q. Why can't I do the race in Precursor Basin anymore?!
Q. How do I get to Misty Island?
Q. Where is the Mountain Pass?
Q. OMG! I can't reach <whatever>! How do I do a super long jump?
Q. How many hidden Power Cells are there?
Q. In what order should I beat the levels?
Q. What's the second ending? How do I get it?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. What is this game about?
A. It's mainly about your best bud, Daxter, who has been transformed into a
rather furry creature thanks to the Dark Eco, and now you and Daxter must
travel across the land to find a cure that can turn him back to his human
form. The underlying goal is to collect as many Power Cells and Precursor
Orbs as you can to progress through the game. Along the way, you will
encounter stiff resistance by a hostile race known as Lurkers. The world
is plagued by their very existence, and it's your job to dig to the root
of the problem and weed it out. Your main focus is collecting those Power
Cells. Daxter's main concern is getting back his good looks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Should I get this game?
A. What a question to ask. It has recently become a Greatest Hits title, so
the price has gone down significantly. There's no excuse NOT to own this
game. If you enjoyed platformers such as Banjo-Kazooie, Mario, etc. you
will love this, albeit this game isn't nearly as challenging as some of
the other platformers. That's fine by me. I'm always for an enjoyable,
laid-back adventure! I highly recommend this to all gamers everywhere.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. How long is the game?
A. Depends on how many hours you're willing to log in each time you play.
Completing the game itself takes no more than 4 hours. However, if you
plan to attain the elusive 100%, then it will take considerably longer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. How do I save?
A. The game will automatically save your progress every time you find and
pocket a new Power Cell. In the process, you get to see Jak and Daxter
bust out some groovy break-dancing moves. You can save manually by
pressing START, then circle and finally choosing the save option. Thanks
to OmniGamer2189 for pointing this out.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Are there any benefits for collecting all the Precursor Orbs?
A. No, not really. It's a gamer's thing to strive for a perfect score in
every game he plays, including Jak and Daxter. If he can manage to obtain
every Precursor Orb, every little Scout Fly, and every Power Cell, then
he will be a very happy camper. It's a feeling of satisfaction and
accomplishment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Why can't I use the Zoomer on levels like the Fire Canyon?
A. There are a number of places in Jak's world that can only be reached
using the Zoomer. And in order to pass through certain levels, you must
give Keira a specified amount of Power Cells, with which to power up the
Zoomer. With this hovercraft, you will be able to traverse the molten
lava of Fire Canyon, navigate the ridges and cliffs of the Mountain Pass,
and withstand the heat of the treacherous Lava Tube. Each of these levels
require the following amount of Power Cells to access:
Fire Canyon: 20 Power Cells
Mountain Pass: 45 Power Cells
Lava Tube: 72 Power Cells
Happy Power Cell hunting!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Why can't I do the race in Precursor Basin anymore?!
A. This is one of the major glitches that has been the death of many great
game files. Ok...not really the "deaths", but it will balk your attempt
to obtain all 101 Power Cells, meaning you won't be able to squeeze the
second Power Cell from the gambler. How do you trigger the bug? Here, I
will repeat this small snippet from my other J&D FAQ: According to
Naughty Dog, the bug is triggered by talking to the gambler, trying the
race for the first time and failing it, and then talking to the gambler a
second time. Once you've activated this bug, there's nothing you can do
to un-do it. Basically this means that you won't be able to get the
gambler's second Power Cell. What can you do to avoid this? Well, talk to
the gambler once and race until you win.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. How do I get to Misty Island?
A. You can there only by boat. If you attempt to swim out to the island, you
will become easy prey for the Lurker Sharks. Anyway, the only boat around
this place is the fisherman's, but he won't just let you take it. You
have to get his permission or win his trust. After nearly having been a
Lurker Shark's meal, the fisherman has decided to change his fishing
spot. Well, head on over to the Forbidden Jungle, where you will find him
under a rope bridge, struggling to catch fish from a small stream. Here,
you can try out your first mini-game. A fish-catching game with a little
twist. After you help him out, he will allow you to use his boat. Now you
can use it to get to Misty Island.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Where is the Mountain Pass?
A. If you paid any attention to the introductory cut-scene you get when you
first entered Rock Village, you will know that the path to the Mountain
Pass is blocked by a giant boulder. During the cut-scene, Keira uses her
mechanical intelligence to figure out how to get the levitation device
working again and finally deduces that 45 Power Cells are needed to power
it up. So now you have the idea. Before that, you need to talk to the
melodramatic warrior and give him 90 Precursor Orbs to convince him to
piece together the pontoon bridges, which will allow you to cross the
deep water. After crossing the water and using the levitation device to
raise the boulder, you will then have to face Klaww, who is guarding the
entrance to the Mountain Pass. Defeat him, and you're in!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. OMG! I can't reach <whatever>! How do I do a super long jump?
A. I've been getting many e-mails from a bunch of whiny people complaining
that they can't reach the last Dark Eco crystal, which is apparently
situated on the far reaches of the cave. One thing they fail to notice is
that the roll jump takes Jak much farther than a normal forward jump. And
did they know that a roll jump PLUS a spin attack can take them to the
edge of the world?! So basically, to surmount any large gap roll forward
and press jump! Whilst still in the air, press circle for a spin attack!
Another variation is double jumping and then doing the spin attack, but
it doesn't catch quite as much air as the former attack.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. How many hidden Power Cells are there?
A. There are two. One in the Mountain Pass, and one in the Volcanic Crater.
Read my Hard-to-Get Power Cell FAQ for details on how to get them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. In what order should I beat the levels?
A. You don't have to beat the levels in a particular order, but you need to
earn enough Power Cells for the Zoomer to advance through the game.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. What's the second ending? How do I get it?
A. The second ending involves opening the precursor door which is shown to
you after all the credits roll, but I won't spoil it for you. You need
101 Power Cells to acquire this ending. If you're not even close to
obtaining 101 Power Cells, then you can just forget it. This so-called
alternate ending is not worth your time.
